Enforcement of Decisions | Center for Conflict Resolution

You may have the decision of the Arbitrator confirmed in a court of competent jurisdiction if you make application to the court within 90 days of receiving the arbitration decision. An arbitration decision that is confirmed by the court will be treated and enforced in all respects as a judgment of the court. (See Utah Code Annotated 78-31a-123.)

Decisions of arbitrations between BYU student-tenants and university-contracted landlords may be enforced through Brigham Young University, and through the courts of law. (See Arbitration Rules, Section 31.) If enforcement is sought through the university against a BYU student who fails to satisfy any judgment of the arbitrator(s), the student will be prevented from registering for school or have his or her registration discontinued if already registered and have a hold placed on university records until the judgment is satisfied. If the landlord fails to comply with the judgment of the arbitrator(s), BYU will withdraw its approval of the rental facility for student occupancy. It is the responsibility of the prevailing party to seek enforcement action and to notify the Off-Campus Housing Office when the other party is delinquent in complying with the decision of the Arbitrator.
